Just The News: In a move that experts termed unusual and legal, members of the New Jersey National Guard worked in civilian clothes this week while officially activated to help civilian officials at election sites.
More than 370 of the state’s National Guard soldiers and airmen were dispatched to work with election officials in 19 counties, New Jersey state military officials announced Tuesday.
“This state active-duty mission is being undertaken at the request of the County Boards of Elections,” according to the New Jersey National Guard. And, while New Jersey’s Guard members previously have pitched in at election sites, this marks their first such role in a general election – and deviates from the normal practise whereby National Guard members wear their military uniforms when on active status.
Photographs posted to the New Jersey National Guard website and Facebook page depict men and women members at the election sites in various attire, including polo shirts, tee shirts, cardigans, and buttoned-down Oxford shirts – but not military uniforms. read more
This reminds me of the Clinton admin when there were so many scandals that it was referred to as scandal fatigue. People lost interest because it was normalized.
We’re on the way to crime fatigue right now. There are so many crimes being committed by the left to steal this election that it has just about become normalized.
Yeah, I’m not sure that’s legal for them to be out of uniform.
Great idea. Should be adopted nation wide.
I’m reminded when the Armed Forces were allowed to use public transport in civies.
Before the whole, “spitting on we the baby killers” became fashionable, travel under orders was uniform only.
Heroes wear uniforms, entertainers wear costumes.
Part of a sting op? “I’d almost wager.”
With sidearms I hpoe.
